Bird Legends.

Following are a few of tho many bird To-
gends that people with bright imoginations
and ready inventions have connected with
feathered musicians, as collated by llarpcrs
Young Folks:
The poor cuckoo, whose mournfu cry
sounds so desoate in the quiet wood, is al
ways mourning for the death of IA beloved
brother. The cuckoo was originally benu-
tifu young maiden She caused her broth
er's death Internationally, and was changed
into the bird whose sud cry is an expression
Of her bitter grief
The owl was also once a beautiful young
girl She was bakers daughter. One day
good man. passing by asked for piece of
bread She refused IL, and as punishment
was changed into an owl. In Germany the
swallow and the lark arc sacred birds, and
their morning song is considered hymn.
The nightingale, you know, only sings at
night. This wa' not so formerly. One night
a nightingale fell fast asleep, and tho tendrils
of the vine it sat upon grew round its feet, so
that it could not get away, and finally 1t
died. Since then the other nishtingaIes never
dare sleep at night

The English tradesman is toady | had
some clothes being built at n tailor's, patron
lied principally by army officers. Being only
an American civilian, he did not treat me
with any extraordinary politeness. Indeed
he was very uncivil. When the major general
called for me that day at the hotel, told him
had to 60 to the taior's to try on those
clothes. "All right, I'll drive there and wait
for you" and away we went "Tll just 60
in," he said, when we got there, ''and see what
your taste is in coats" The tailor simply
fell down when he saw me walk in with the
major general. He groveled, he cringed-sc
much SO that | laughed a. him, and when he
got out told the major general
ayes" hc said, lit Is rather contemplate
for man to get down aud cringe, but | sup
pose it helps their business"
Aud when | went back alone the taller
couldn't get low enough to do me honor. -

A Russian peasant was one day driving
some geese TO neghboring town where he
hoped to sell them. He had long stick In
his hand and, 10 tell the truth, lac did not
treat his flock with much consideration lilo
was anxious TO get to the market In time tn
make profit, and not only geese but men
must expect to suffer If they hinder gain,
which the geese were doing every time they
stopped to "cackle." The geese, however, did
not look on the matter in this light, and,
CHANGING to meet n traveller walking along
the road they poured forth their complaints
against the peasant who was driving them.
"Where can you find geese more unhappy
than we arei See how this peasant il hurry
ing on this way and that, aud driving us just
as though we wero only common geese
Ignorant fellow, he never thinks how he IL
bound TO honor and respect u.s. for we are
distinguished descendants Of those very geese
TO whom Rome once owed its salvation, SO
that festival was established in their honor"
"But for what do you expect to be dis
tinguished yourselvesp asked the intelligent
traveller
because our ancestors'-
ayes, | know; | have read all about it,
What I want to know is, what good have you
yourselves donep
"Why, our ancestors saved Rome"
ayes, yes; but what have you done of the
kindt
"We' Nothing"
"Of what good are you, thenl Do leave
your ancestors at peace. They were honored
for their deed, but you, my friends, are only
fit for roasting"

Build up the CITY.

l see that from time to time Your
paper advocates the building up of the
city bp starting some factory or faeto-
ries to give employment to the unem-
ployed: and it seems strange that there
is not some move made in the this direc-
ton, as this place has the same facilities
as made other places. 1t looks to me
that there are but few enterpriSing
men in the city. Get together and
form a company, and start some kind
of factory, and it will increase the
business and especially as there is go
ing TO be a new railroad from Freeport
to Dodgeville. And it seems that the
c. VI. 4 st. Paul Ry. Company are
standing in their own light by not
pushing their road to Dodgeyille. They
are standing still and other roads are
building around them, which, in
my opinion. are going to take big
trade from them from east of Mineral
Point, which will also effect Darlington.
think the company will see their mis-
take when it is too late. The property
holders of Mineral Point ought to do
all they can to urge the extension of
this road to the Wisconsin river. j. b.
